I dunno about a "run"

As we'll have vastly differing abilities and comforts and possibly a large group, planning stuff is difficult.

My kind of plan is to definitely get out somewhere Saturday. I'm looking at picking somewhere to go (any locals with knowledge be helpful here) then setting off no later than 11 am. Take it nice and easy on the way there and hoon as required on the way back.

It would be really cool to get 20 storms (plus blade interlopers

) pootling off somewhere, but I know people are gonna be: drunk / not arsed / wanting to do something else, so I'm not planning a "rideout"

This kinda helps me to be honest cos I've managed to double book myself for this weekend

The GOOD news is that both bookings are within 20 miles of each other, the BAD news is one is on the bike and one is in the shogun for a greenlaning day on the sat and pay and play day in a quarry on the sunday and after doing this last sunday - http://imageevent.com/joker777/kirtonapril29th07?n=0 - I'm itching to get it muddy again

(mines the lwb)

So at the mo I'm definitely going to be in matlock for the sat night for some beer and food, just a case of deciding which set of wheels I use

Kitch the bladers seems to be meeting about 10.30 at one of the guys houses, he's organising things from thier side, and says he'll take the stormers out also if no one organises anything on here, he'll lead.

I'm still on for Friday night and deffo up for riding out somewhere on Saturday.

Question is, do I keep in my Motorway rear Pirelli or do I put in the BT014??

I'm also still up for it. Gonna ride down sometime saturday, probably in the afternoon. Someone tell me where everyone's meeting as I ain't a clue yet! Won't be fussed about riding anywhere once I'm down there, will probaby just want to have a few beers with everyone. Then stopping over at the hotel Steve booked us at. I was just gonna play it by ear on the sunday to be honest, not fussed about a rideout for the reasons kitch mentioned. As the BSB is on at Oulton (I think) I might be tempted to do that on the sunday.

Anyone riding through Leeds on Saturday to get to Matlock as i will ride down wih you?

Also seeing as i have clearance problems (exhausts) carrying a passenger does anyone want to give my wife a lift down but just thought you would have to be coming back on the same day as us

ps what time is everyone meeting?

I'll be heading down saturday afternoon - where will everyone be congregating? Ie. which pub.

SILVER ZIPPER · Post by **SILVER ZIPPER** » Thu May 03, 2007 8:06 pm

Right you orrible lot, Friday night 2000hrs Fishpond's pub Matlock Bath. It's the last pub on the righthand side when travelling south on the A6 toward's Derby.
Saturday 1100hrs car park opposite the pub.
The route we will take on the rideout will be this way and that way and up over thier OK

Jaglifter · Post by **Jaglifter** » Thu May 03, 2007 8:47 pm

I'll be there!
Sounds like the pub is quite close to the hotel I'm booked at - which is always useful

Post by **firestorm996** » Thu May 03, 2007 8:55 pm

Is you orrible lot meeting back at the fishponds after you've been for a ride? As I'll only be getting down to Matlock late afternoon 4-5pm ish and won't be arsed about doin any riding saturday after that. The run down is quite decent, the way I usually go anyway.
